Welcome to Livonia Andruw!!!

As most of you may know by now, Andruw came to live with us and go to school in Livonia. He has been here for 2 weeks now and is doing well. Although it has been an adjustment for everyone, things have been going well! Andruw is adjusting to his new school and is getting good grades. Monday he will start Lacrosse and he is truly looking forward to that. All 3 boys will be playing lacrosse. They play in the yard a lot!! We will keep you posted on how Andruw is progressing! So far so good! The boys truly love having Andruw here all the time. They made this sign to hang on the wall so it would be the first thing he saw when he got here!!

 

 

 

Ryan~Football

Here are some random pictures of Ryan during Football season. Some are from the Homecoming parade, and then some from the game where he was captain. Ryan truly loves football! He understands the game and put everything he has into it!

 

 

 

 

Derrick~Flag Football

Here are some pictures of Derrick marching in the Homecoming parade for flag football. There are also a few of him getting his medal at their little end of the year pizza party. He really enjoyed football! Unfortunately, I never got any pictures of him actually playing football. Not sure why though. His last game was cancelled because of rain, and the game before that I was with Ryan at his hockey scrimmage, so I guess that's what waiting until the end got me.....:(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twins Day!!

Now that Ryan is in The Intermediate School (which was the middle school when I went to school), they get to do so many fun things! For Red Ribbon Week, one of the days was Twins Day. I think Ryan and Mitchell did a great job matching up...Right down to their socks!!!

 

 

 

Halloween with The Mattice's....

So this Halloween, Chris didn't have to Trick or Treat with us! My friend Kim and I took the boys while the guys stayed back and watched football....(Although the guys did have to come and pick up Derrick because he hadn't been feeling well and made it about 20 minutes before he was done...) We did have a lot of fun! Kim made spaghetti, and we got some pizza for the boys. It was a fun night and just as we were ending our night, it was snowing!! Derrick was a mummy and Ryan was The #1 Livonia Bulldogs fan! Reminded me how much I hate face paint and colored hair spray!!! It was all good though.....

 

 

 

 

First Day of School......

The first day of school was Thursday September 9th. As you can see, when Ryan left for school, it was still dark! We went out to take pictures at 6:40 as the bus comes along at 6:50! School mornings are early ones for Ryan! Ryan is in 4th grade now! I still remember vividly Ryan's first day of Kindergarten! Time really does go by very quickly! Derrick just entered 1st grade and is growing fast too! He doesn't get on the bus until 8:20, so it was light out for him! These boys are the center of my life!

 

 

Oh what a night.......

We went out with some very great friends back in early August. We attempted to go to The Corn Festival in Avon, but didn't see much of the festival. We heard about 10 minutes of the band and headed out for some food and more drinks. It was a very fun night! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catching up!!!

OK everyone....so sorry for the delay in updates to the blog! Summer was very crazy this year, but also very fun!! I have added many pictures so be sure to look at the end of the pictures on this page and click on older posts! I will get more on soon! :)

Bills Training Camp

The boys really enjoyed training camp this year. At least Ryan did. They were very tired from a long day at Darien Lake the day before, so they were moving a little slow. We went for the Junior Backers Day. The kids get to go out on the field after practice and get autographs. They LOVED that! They each had a football to get signed, and they got Trent's signature so they were happy....Weather was wonderful and a great time was had by all.
